Sorry to hear it! I had a breakthrough infection in October, right at the 7-month mark from my first vaccine dose. I came through with what felt like a bad sinus infection for 2 days (what led to me getting tested) but otherwise did fine. I was fortunate. No breathing problems. No fever. If you have an oxygen sensor, keep an eye on your blood oxygen level (check it while resting sometime in the morning, before bed). What I was told was as long as you stay above 95%, you’re golden. If it dips below that AND you can feel yourself having trouble breathing, keep a closer eye on it and go see a doctor if it dips below 90%. Might be worth a call to your primary doc if you have one to see their direction for you. ^ above assumes you’re vaccinated. If you’re not, I’d check into getting monoclonal antibodies treatment. |

a little late to the party but hey
Canada's first homegrown COVID-19 vaccine shows high efficacy https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...EDJ?li=AAggNb9 different tech I guess too If licensed in this country, the shot would be the first COVID-19 vaccine using virus-like particle technology and the first plant-based vaccine ever approved for human use, Brian Ward, medical officer for Medicago, said during a recent interview with CBC News. "This would be a first for the world," he added, "not just for Quebec and Canada." The shots use Medicago's plant-derived, virus-like particles — which resemble the coronavirus behind COVID-19 but don't contain its genetic material — and also contain an adjuvant from GSK to help boost the immune response. |

Heard of an interesting case (Friend’s husband) where the husband was vaccinated (i don’t know if it was Moderna or Pfizer) 7 months ago. He has crohn’s and was considering a booster. He went to get an antibody test to see how his immunity was and they told him it was if he was never vaccinated at all.
I don’t know other details, but found it interesting. |

If you're living and breathing you pretty much qualify for the antibody treatment around here

I had it in October, it was literally indistinguishable from the common cold for me.
My wife had it a few days later with similar symptoms + taste loss. |

antibodies wane over time and can very from person to person and antibody test might not detect what isn't there anymore but you are still protected vs disease/illness from your t-cell . |

not sure how this would affect a cough or a sneeze in regards to reduced transmission need to brush up on my gum science, color me skeptical
Gum with a plant-grown protein reduces COVID-19 transmission by 95% https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/med...7cJ?li=AAggNb9 |

Just a quick update on my health. It is now day 10 since contracting Covid. It was a roller coaster, one minute i feel fine, the next i would have a fever of 102. It was up and down. Then i developed a horrible dry cough, and just couldn't stop coughing. This was about 3 days ago. I called urgent care and they said i should go to the hospital and they will put me on a ventilator for my cough, which they seemed to think is Covid Pneumonia. I was absolutely not going on a ventilator. I called my PCP, and he prescribed an inhaler and pills for my cough. As of today, i haven't had a fever for over 24 hours, and my cough is actually "productive", and not as violent. Things are looking up!
